My Review
This book is like a barefoot investor meets Marie Kondo.
You are learning about all things streamlining your life, from managing events, cooking, cleaning, kids to finding the best deals on your electricity, managing your super and finances.
What I really like is that each chapter tackles a specific part of your life admin.
Whilst you absolutely can read this from front to back but what I found is I preferred going straight to the chapters that I felt I needed help on, read the chapter THEN implemented the steps. Once done then you would tackle another chapter.
I really like how at the start of each Chapter Mia and Dinah show you how much time & money you could save if you implemented their steps. I also really appreciated the parts where they share how they tackle specific life admin in their households. I found this great because it shows that it’s not always one size, fits all. You can tweak it to match you and your lifestyle.
I highly recommend this book if you want to work on maximising your time and money.
